Popular FPS for low-end PC

Doesn't Counterstrike still have a largish player base? Lol, not really a gamer and last time I played CS was probably 6 years ago.

I mentioned CS above.
I still actively play CS:GO.
There's a big community.

+1 for CS

Far Cry 1 should work. With some clever configuration.

Sniper elite 2? Seeing as it is free on Steam at the moment....

Q3A came out in 1999 and I can bet its completely dead online. If it has to be Quake then I'd recommend Quake Live instead which isn't exactly popular in the local scene.

I actually do play Quake Live which has a local JHB server.

You think an UE3 game will run decently on his specs?

It should. Its quite an old game.
